Chapter 259: Cooperation (I)
"Fiancée?" Constance Dante was a little stunned, but the other party's expression did not look like he was joking at all. However www.biquge.info Constance Dante was obviously a little at a loss in the face of Berchs's questioning, but it was precisely because of this, looking at Constance Dante's eyes, that Berchis believed that he was not lying. It's just that the doubt in the man's eyes has deepened even more.
"What the hell is going on?" Constance Dante was confused, but he knew that Bersches had no time to joke with him.
Berches looked at Constance Dante with a solemn expression and said: "Although I myself am skeptical, but for now, it may be an opportunity or a trap, so you can only rely on your own judgment." With that, Berchis told Constance everything he knew.
"I have ...... Fiancee? Constance Dante was not only shocked, but somewhat frightened.
"So you already have a fiancée?" At this moment, a cold voice sounded, Constance Dante shrugged his shoulders slightly, and subconsciously turned his head to look over, only to see that Dr. Fabre had followed at some point.
"You...... What are you doing here? ”
"It's just a little curious." Dr. Fabre blinked, having been with this man for three years, Cons, Dante was still not used to such an unkempt attitude. Speaking of which, this reminded Consitan Dante of Plushenko, who was a mechanical expert, but always as casual as Dr. Fabre, but after all, he still knew how to take measure.
"I didn't expect you to have such an affair?" Dr. Fabre said with a teasing smile, leaving Constance Dante a little speechless.
He did not conceal his past, for he did not consider himself anything noteworthy, and his ten years of seclusion in Constantinople were mundane and pale, and he was merely a mechanical source of money for Sophia to go to school in the district of Findel, whereas before that, Consdante had been nothing more than a war machine loyal to the Empire. The so-called knight king is just a joke, Consitine Dante never had any good memories in that city, and only in the army can Considine feel the warmth. The time when he shed his blood for the extravagant nobles he remembered was only vomiting, and there was a sharp pain in the skull of the purple-robed emperor, Cons. Dante.
Damn, whenever I think about the past, there will be such a fork!
It's like there's something you can't want to make Cons Dante reminisce about that time!
All in all, how could the nobles of Constantinople be willing to find themselves a fiancée with a prominent status if they didn't even care about their own life or death?
"Are you sure?" Constance Dante naturally wouldn't believe it, but due to the shattering of his memory, he couldn't be sure, so he could only look at Berchis and ask hesitantly.
"I don't know anything if you ask me about this kind of thing!" Spreading his hands, Bercis shook his head helplessly, they didn't know anything about Eleno, even if the other party was famous, but a woman was not worth their attention.
"Isn't that great! Since he is the old lover of Constance Dante, naturally he won't do anything to us! Dr. Fabre's troubled expression made Consité Dante's face darkened.
"Doctor Fabre, don't be kidding," Constante Dante smiled wryly, "you have no idea what's going on, and I can't answer anything you want to ask me." But something must be made clear-"
"One, whether she's my fiancée or not is something that can't be determined at all, at least until then, I don't know her!"
"Second, even if it's a fiancée, it's not appropriate to use an old lover at all."
"Third, in the face of interests, some people can even betray their relatives, do you think there may be concessions between me and that woman because of this?"
For the other party's words just now, Constance Dante is really helpless against Fabre's naivety, even if it is a joke, it is not at this time.
"So what do you want, Your Highness?" Looking at Constance Dante, Bersches finally asked, he had basically told Constance Dante about the negotiation before, and what he needed was his decision.
"This ......," said Constance, Dante also looked a little hesitant.
"It is said that the marriage contract was made when you were twelve years old. At that time, the Grand Duke of Athens accepted the contract offered by the new Roman Empire to become the governor of the Peloponnese, and that was not the time for you to rise to prominence. On the one hand, the Grand Duke of Athens has taken a fancy to your potential, and on the other hand, His Majesty Scipio may also want to use this to win over the other party. Therefore it is not impossible to get married," said Berhis, but then changed his words, "but it must be emphasized that this is only a marriage contract of the past, and since the dissolution of the new Roman Empire, the martyrdom of Emperor Scipio and your disappearance mean that the marriage contract has lost its meaning, that is, it has lost its validity. ”
"You mean......" Doctor Fabre interjected earnestly as he listened attentively to the questions that had nothing to do with him, but Constance Dante understood what Berchis meant.
"Yes, I know, now she and I are no strangers. Naturally, I have no illusions. ”
"That's true, but the broken engagement isn't worthless!" "Maybe they can't be a strong wife, but their help is very important to us!" ”
"But does she really want to help us?" Constance Dante shook his head.
Constance Dante was not optimistic about the current situation, it was difficult to retake Constantinople, and he had been silent for too long, and a new generation of talented people were catching up, such as the Archduke of Ether in the New Brad Kingdom, although Constance Dante could defeat him, but he also had to pay a great price. Therefore, with the strength of Constance Dante alone, it is difficult to turn the tables at all. What's more, now that the new Roman Empire is divided and still intriguing, Constance Dante is of course in urgent need of strength, but those who believe in the Pope always feel ridiculous! And wasn't Eleno's father, Archduke Alfonso, a traitor? With the help of their strength, I am afraid that there will be a lot more truth!
"But it's a must! His Royal Highness Justine. Berchis said in a deep voice.
"Of course I do!" Consité Dante replied irritably, that he had confronted Berhiss with such a tone.
Now, the whole West is preparing for war, and if this continues, the empire under the protection of the new moon may have to repeat the mistakes of the new Roman Empire.
Consitine Dante understands that he needs allies, but now that Novgorod has recovered, he is not yet in a state of "self-help", and there is only so much he can do, after all, it is difficult to protect himself. What's more, now Consitor Dante also knows that Novgorod itself is not monolithic, which means that going to the East will be a last battle. What's more, Novgorod itself is only an invisible supporter, and giving more help requires more benefits.
Now what Constance Dante needs most is foreign aid, and it is at this time that foreign aid really appeared, surprisingly strong foreign aid - the Pope. It was unbelievable that her biggest opponent, the titular leader of the Holy Church, would want to cooperate with her.
"Even if it's true, it's just a political marriage!" Once again, Constance Dante emphasized.
"Political marriage," said Berhis, shrugging his shoulders indifferently, "so what, annoyed as a tool of political marriage?" ”
"Of course not!" Constance Dante didn't think so at all.
"That's it, now, you are not only dealing with the Pope's emissary, but also with the daughter of the Grand Duke of Athens. In comparison, this status was more important, and one of the crusader commanders in Anatolia was the Grand Duke Alfonso. Do you understand? Berhiss did not restrain his rhetoric, and now any means that could turn the situation around were beyond his means.
At present, Constance Dante is in need of a strong ally, and the countries in the Far North are unreliable, and in Constantinople, although Constance Dante has verbally had an alliance agreement with Arthur of Genoa, the other party has been silent for several years. So in fact, Constance Dante is fundamentally alone, and he has no roots in the East at all. And now, if Poland is controlled again, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.
At this moment, Bersches was saying such inexplicable things.
"Can that kind of marriage contract still count?" Constance Dante said with a wry smile helplessly. Of course, he has some aversion to political marriages, after all, he is not a naïve person who longs for free love. Once tied to the chariot, Constance Dante was ready for anything.
But the key thing is that the other party may not have such a will at all. So many years have passed, and it's completely wrong!
"So what's the problem? As long as the price is sufficient. In the end, the other party did not tear up the marriage contract, I think that is undoubtedly a hint, Your Highness, with the support of a powerful wife, the revival of the new Roman Empire is just around the corner, and His Highness returns to the army to regroup, so you don't have to worry about those people in Nicaea. "Berches is meaningful, it seems that the Grand Duke of Athens and the Crusaders are not monolithic! When Constance Dante returns, he must have enough chips to deter some people with bad intentions.
At this time, Bersches tried his best to make Constance, Dante's attitude towards Elenor very different, although Elenor did not give any hints, but Bersches always felt that the appearance of this woman was by no means so simple.
If you can use it, why not do it?
Now that the Crusaders were becoming more and more aggressive, Berchis had to convince Constance Dante that he could do nothing to go to the East without strength.
"Let me think about it again!" Constance Dante replied in a deep voice, "At least let me see her first." "Although the backlash of the ancient mecha is very powerful, but at this time, Constance Dante basically has no big problems.
"Alright then!" Berchis nodded.
……
At this time, after the baptism of war, everything seems to be over, under the control of Eileno, the guards in Warsaw have ended the curfew, and the public claims that the high-explosive liquid leakage explosion caused the destruction last night, although it is an obvious lie, but no one dares to question anything.
The bustling crowd gradually increased, after all, life has to go on no matter what, although the upper city has been badly damaged, but the main place where the citizens live has not had much impact. It seems that the city has returned to its old life, but last night's fighting left many people dead, and the atmosphere can be imagined heavy.
The woman who looked down on everything below from the tall building was very interested and seemed very calm. And she was one of the driving forces behind all that last night.
"I want to understand something." At this time, Yadvedya, who had calmed the woman, looked at Elenor and said.
"Whatever you want, Your Majesty." Elenor said lightly, but her eyes did not look away.
"Why did the Pope notice us?"
"Not His Holiness! It's the whole Holy See, and you know it yourselves, that since the start of the Crusades, Poland's trade income has undoubtedly increased greatly, hasn't it? Elenor replied dangerously, "I believe you know it yourself, how can the Holy See just sit back and watch you grow?" After all, Poland's power was not strong enough, and since it was not strong enough, it could only become the object of competing interests. ”
"So, is the Pope really willing to coronate Bernia?" Yadwija looked at each other and asked, and at this moment looking at her mother, Bonifazia seemed to understand something, she wanted to stop it but didn't know what to do.
"According to the wishes of the Holy See, a mature king is actually the best, such as the dead Lestek from the House of Habsburg. It is more important to be loyal to the Holy Church! Elenor replied unhurriedly.
"Then what do you mean ......"
Without waiting for Yadvga to finish speaking, Elenor turned to look at Yadvica and said with a smile: "But if the Pontifical Majesty insists, the cardinal will not be able to argue about this trivial matter!" So, Your Majesty, do you understand? ”
Elenore had already made it clear that, in fact, only the Holy See could provide shelter to the mother and daughter of Jadwigya and the whole of Poland, and that it would be disastrous to be found out if they cooperated with Consdante.
It only took a short time to weigh up, and Yadwiga had already made up her mind.
"I see!" The woman nodded.
And Elenor also showed a satisfied smile, at least in this way, the Pope would have a lot of help.
"Well, then, Your Majesty, it would be better that you have made your own decision." Smiling, Elenor stood up.
And Yadwiga didn't disappoint her.
"Poland will fully support the Pontifical See, as long as the Pontifical See can coronate Bernia." (To be continued.) )
